38 Dead After Chinese Boats Collide

At least thirty-eight people were killed, Monday night, when two boats collided in Hong Kong harbor.

Rescuers are continuing to search for dozens of missing people, and have rescued one hundred and twenty-three.

One of the boats involved was a passenger ferry, whilst the other was owned by the Hong Kong Electric Company and was carrying company employees and their families.

The electric company's boat flipped and began to sink, eventually resting with only the bow, and the front of the cabin, above water.

Seven crew members, of the two boats, have been arrested for suspicion of endangering lives.
